I am glad that the televised execution of the Muslim terrorist has been cancelled. It was a bad idea. However, announcing the execution and then unannouncing it is awkward and ridiculous. You end up getting all of the blowback for something that, in the end, you don’t even do. You disappoint everybody who is in favor and receive all of the flak from everybody who is opposed.

This is a minor thing, so who cares? But the approach is similar to what happened with the war against Iran. There is a definite and clear lack of thinking things through.

Let’s attack them and see what happens.

What if they close the Strait of Hormuz?

Well, let’s attack them and see what happens.

We attacked them. They closed the Strait of Hormuz. Now nobody knows what to do.

Of course, compared to what the Democrats offer, this is all extremely minor. That goes without saying. I’m voting up-and-down-ballot Republican, not only in November but for the rest of my life. But we need to be more disciplined and less scatterbrained.
